Creating an Africa-wide People's Health Movement

By
Our manifesto As the IPHU participants from the 'Africa Group’ we have agreed that in order to strengthen the movement, we would each need to first start by working locally, strengthening the PHM activities in our respective countries, Ethiopia, Ghana, South Africa, Uganda and Zimbabwe. We commit to support each other in developing and strengthening the PHM in each of our countries as we work towards an Africa-wide People’s Health Movement. The role of PHM is to bring together organisations and individuals already working for the Right to Health under the banner of this shared vision of “Health for all, now!” PHM Africa is an organisation, not a movement. Anyone who endorses the charter and is working in the struggle for the right to health for all can join PHM Africa. The objectives and activities of our campaign are defined and developed by our members. We will strive to further the movement starting on this blog by connecting with others, sharing experiences,...

PHA3-Regional Statement- East and Southern Africa

REGIONAL STATEMENT – EASTERN & SOUTHERN AFRICA PEOPLE’S HEALTH ASSEMBLY 3 CAPE TOWN 11 JULY 2012 For us the country circle is fundamental.

This can be done by developing a manual based on the lessons from countries (case studies from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Ghana Kenya, as well as experiences from other regions) consisting of principles such as: We need a rallying point or issue that is centred around the right to health (RTH) and this can take di...

Seeking Organisational Endorsements: Comments on ‘Draft Technical Paper’ prepared for the World Conference on SDH

By
Seeking Endorsements: Comments on ‘Draft Technical Paper’ prepared for the World Conference on Social Determinants of Health The World Health Organization (WHO) is convening the World Conference on Social Determinants of Health (WCSDH) from 19-21 October 2011 in Rio de Janeiro with the support of the Government of Brazil. The Conference will be organized in accordance with the Resolution 62.14 of the 62nd World Health Assembly and as a follow-up for the work of the WHO Commission on the Social Determinants of Health (CSDH). The WHO has published a ‘Draft Technical Paper’ on the WCSDH and initiated a consultation around it through inviting online submissions. The People’s Health Movement (PHM), in association with several public interest groups and networks, has been coordinating a collective civil society response to the Draft Technical Paper which we strongly believe is a step back from the report of the CSDH ‘Closing the Gap in a Generation: Health equity through action on soci...
